Carbon dioxide exists naturally in the atmosphere as a result of the earth's carbon cycle. It is also there as a result of man's activities in burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which releases long-stored carbon dioxide to add to the greenhouse gases already there.
Methane occurs naturally in the atmosphere, but is also produced by man's cattle ranching.
Nitrous Oxide (310 times more powerful than CO2) is emitted from industry, rocket and vehicle engines and even aerosols.
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are completely made by man. They were released for a while from aerosols and are now being phased out as a refrigerant.

How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
What in greenhouse gases are bad for the ozone?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are greenhouse gases. They also destroy ozone.

How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
How do you use the words 'greenhouse gases' in a sentence?
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.
Is the sun involved in the greenhouse gases?
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
What are greenhouse?
Non-greenhouse gases are all gases except the greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are those that can absorb and emit infrared radiation.The most abundant greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are:Water vapor (H2O)Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)Ozone (O3)CFCs
Name two greenhouse gases in your atmosphere?
two greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane
What in greenhouse gases are bad for the ozone?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are greenhouse gases. They also destroy ozone.
